I love that my girls buy slime—w their own money—from neighbor friends, just to be supportive, even though they make their own.

I have said from Day 1 that most of these guys are killed when they land. No way they are feeding and housing that many men in that facility. It is a death camp.
Is Kilmar Abrego Garcia alive? Because the amount of resistance to addressing his being trafficked gives the distinct impression that either he is dead or what they have done to him is so unspeakable that they cannot afford for him to be freed, seen, or spoken with.

There’s a great Canadian app called “Buy Beaver” (I know, eh?! 🦫) which has recently been updated to allow users to select countries to support and/or countries to boycott, by scanning bar codes as you shop. It’s free, and easy to use.

These are my pet crows, Larry, Curly, and Poe. Poe sits on the fence and squawks and I come out and feed them.

Scientists at Penn’s Institute for RNA Innovation are pursuing vaccines to stop celiac disease, which I have, but DOGE might cut funding. My God, I am really tired of these clowns mucking up all good in my life.

To be fair, I was also on Pete’s group chat for whatever reason, and it was mostly just fart jokes and drunken nonsense.

I have been cultivating crow friends all year using peanuts. It’s a slow process. They are very distrustful but I get closer every day. They now knock on the window of my office.
I watched a video about crows and how they can recognise people and make friends with other animals and I've decided I'm wasting my life every single day that I'm not friends with a crow

A Shaggy song just came on the radio, immediately transporting me to when I didn’t think about politics every day, despite living in DC, and life was one big party. I am sad that young ppl don’t have simpler times. #throwback
